Visitor Q

2001 · dir. Takashi Miike

What they share

Both films are directed by Takashi Miike, and they sit in Comedy / Drama / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Happiness of the Katakuris, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Visitor Q is

Tokyo suburbs summer rain a broken umbrella. A prostitute mother and her dysfunctional family. Takashi Miike brings dark humor to a troubled household.
